?? about "too thick" CM and preseed. [PIP]

I had the post coital test today.  It was pretty awesome that I got to watch him look at the slide on the monitor.  But the results weren't as awesome. 

I took a few [bad] pictures of the screen with my cell while he was looking at it.  He said that they like to see the CM clear and with sperm swimming through it still.  And, as you can see from the pic mine is full of cells.  He said I had very thick CM and that there were sperm in it but we couldn't see them swimming bc it was so thick.  He said not to worry.  That most likely the majority of the sperm had already gotten past the cervix and to have sex again tonight.   I go in next week for the progesterone b/w and we'll go from there after those results.

Now, my questions...  I took EPO and drank green tea everyday since CD1.  I know it's supposed to create more EWCM and I have noticed more watery CM this cycle.  But is there a chance it made my CM thick like this OR would you think that my CM is usually thicker than this and the epo, tea made it thinner? 

Also, I was thinking about going to the store and grabbing some PreSeed for tonight.  We used it the cycle we conceived our DD but haven't used it at all this time while TTC.  Do you think that, even with a ton of "thick" CM that the preseed would still be able to provide a thin enough environment for the sperm to swim through?  Or would it just be a lost cause?

Sorry that this was so long.  TIA:)

    My doctor has both me and my husband taking mucinex once a day to thin out CM and his semen.

    I think these questions are more for your doc that went over the results with you. Good luck!

    I agree that these are questions for your doctor, but the PreSeed can't hurt tonight.

    Thanks ladies:)

    I was just looking for some opinions;)

    I'll talk to the doctor about it after the pregnancy test.  He didn't seem concerned and kind of hurried me out.  I didn't push it bc DH was already late to get back to work.  Figured I'd just pick up the preseed and give it one last go tonight.  If we don't get pregnant then the doctor will address it for the new cycle.
